"I wasn’t playing at Norwich and got the call from the gaffer saying he’d really like me to come here," said the Dutchman.

"He (Warnock) gave me a good feeling on the phone and told me he was willing to play me more than I was at Norwich. That’s why I wanted to come here.

"He said to me that when he was at Rotherham and I was at Wigan that he hoped we would lose in a match against Huddersfield, as we were in the same part of the table as Rotherham were.

"I went to Huddersfield, scored and created an assist and he said he was cursing me that day but had wanted to sign me ever since! That was two years ago and he still remembers me, so that’s a good sign."
